Road traffic is one of the main sources of particulate matter in the atmosphere. Despite its
importance, there are significant challenges in quantitative evaluation of its contribution to …

Estimation of carcinogenic potency based on analysis of 16 polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) ranked by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the most …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have aroused environmentalists and public concerns
due to their toxicity, bioaccumulation and persistency in the environment. However …

Vehicular emissions are a key source of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs), including
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their oxygenated (OPAH) and nitrated (NPAH) …

Vehicular traffic emission is an important source of particulate pollution in most urban areas.
The detailed chemical speciation of traffic-related PM 2.5 (fine particles) is relatively sparse …

Oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAHs) are of increasing interest due to
their high toxicity. Thirteen particulate PAHs and ten particulate OPAHs were analyzed by …

Gaseous and particulate samples were collected in the late autumn of 2010 from
Wanqingsha (WQS), a rural site in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region, China. Eighteen …

Particulate matter (PM) was collected in three different areas, SY-1, SY-2, and SY-3, in
Shenyang, China, during the warm and cold seasons from 2012 to 2014. SY-1 was located …

The purpose of this study was to identify pollution sources by characterizing polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons from total suspended particles in Ulaanbaatar City. Fifteen polycyclic …

Abstract Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) represent a major class of toxic
pollutants because of their carcinogenic and mutagenic characteristics. People living in …
